Hi guys. I've been making a game titled, "Super Riz RPG: The Silent Savior."

I know that just from people reading the title, they think the obvious:
- Oh noes!!!one! He put himself in the game.
- It's just another "Adventures of ..." or "Super 's Quest"
- This will definately suck.

See, the thing is, the game is pretty fun. I started making it as something my friends could play and enjoy. However, I think the OHR comunity would enjoy it as well. After realizing how generic this game sounds, I have purposely thrown as many clichÃ©s in the game I can think of. It's not an arfenhouse, but is still enjoyable.

If you remember my past work, mainly Machine Saga, you all know that I will not let you down.

I guess the big questions are:
Do you think people will shy away from the game from the title alone? Has the OHR community been plaqued with too many bad "Adventures of ...." games that they are sick of them, and immediately judge new game with similar titles?

It's better than "Adventures of Riz the Gnome."

But it isn't a "adventures of me" name, it's "super me RPG" and even has a subtitle (whatever the term is). It's alright.

It's nice to see people understand my problem. Btw, that mod of Moogle1's game is out.

My game is coming along nicely. Expect some demo play real soon!
